Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship of ovipositi on time to egg weight and egg shell quality in unselected and body wei ght selected lines of Japanese quail. Egg weight was significantly aff ected by genetic line, specific gravity of eggs and weight of shell pe r unit surface area were influenced by oviposition time.
